ODESSA, Texas (KOSA) -On June 14th, people across the United States took to the streets to peacefully protest in a movement called ‘No King Day’. Both Midland and Odessa held peaceful protests in the area.

Thousands gathered in Daley Plaza and in suburban events in protests timed to coincide with a military parade in Washington celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

The demonstration was one of 60 in Wisconsin and one of hundreds nationwide, with generations of people making their voices heard.

No Kings has identified on its website more than 1,800 cities nationwide, including about 70 in Michigan, where demonstrators are set to gather to express disapproval.

Today’s United States — its possibility, its strength, its divisiveness, its polarization and fragmentation — is encapsulated in a single week in June 2025, its triumphs and frictions on vivid display.

“The most threatening sound to an oligarch is laughter.”

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández took to Instagram on Saturday to express his support for immigrants and decry the recent militarized raids in the city by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In Muskingum Park, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley were coming together for a different reason. Lisa Bammerlin, a concerned citizen, said over 200 people came out to be in one of the hundreds of No Kings protests taking place across the United States.

With protests blanketing the United States over the immigration crackdown — which is to say nothing of “No Kings Day” on Saturday — boxer Ryan Garcia couldn’t sit back anymore as Los Angeles, his home, has been wracked with ICE raids, protests and upheaval.
